Smile User Programs??

Appreciate some assistance.

Understand that if a User (who has a Password for his own Desktop) is removed, that the software he installed on his Desktop is not removed from the PC. Shortcuts, personal settings will be gone, etc.

But, the programs he had, are they going to show up on the Desktop that everyone can now access?

If not, how does he use or access any program he had installed just on his Desktop?

Sure could use some help on this one.
Thanks in advance.

There was a thread a lot like this one on another forum, for which I'm grateful (since I'd have to guess out an answer, since I'm not sure, not having this particular situation before). Here's the Computing.net thread link: http://www.computing.net/windowsme/w...rum/38702.html

Their answer goes along pretty much with what I'd guess would work. [My guess: Seems that it might be just as possibly easy to find the executables, right-click and select "Create Shortcut", and you now have shortcuts you can paste into whoever's Start Menus you think should be allowed to run the program.]

But since I haven't seen it work in person, I guess you're our beta tester
